British PM: Royal Will Settle Differences with Harry, Meghan British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Tuesday he believes members of the royal family can settle differences over Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.
Harry and Meghan, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, want to break free of their royal duties and move to Canada.
The two have received approval from Queen Elizabeth.
She said she and other family members regret the decision but understand and respect it.
Agreement on important details has yet to be reached, however, and some difficult decisions need to be made.
Canada's leader also has raised questions.
But Boris Johnson told a BBC television (TV) reporter that the monarchy will be able to find solutions."
My view on this is very straightforward: I am a ... fan, like most of our viewers, of the queen and the royal family as a(n)...asset for our country," Johnson said.
The royal family held a crisis meeting Monday at the queen's Sandringham House property in eastern England.
Johnson said he believes they will be able to find agreement "much more easily without a running commentary from politicians.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex started the crisis when they released a statement last week.
They said they wanted to step back from most royal duties and become financially independent.
The two have decided to spend at least part of their time in Canada, a Commonwealth country where the queen is head of state.
Meghan worked in Canada for seven years while filming the TV series "Suits."
The move angered some royals who had not been involved in the decision.
The Sandringham meeting brought together the 93-year-old queen, her eldest son and heir Prince Charles, his son Prince William and his brother Prince Harry.
After the meeting, the Queen release a statement saying the family will not try to stop Prince Harry and Meghan from seeking independence.
After it was clear they will live in Canada, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country welcomes the news, but he has issues to discuss.
Among the issues are the high cost of providing day-to day security for Harry, Meghan and their son, Archie.
"I think most Canadians are very supportive of having royals be here, but how that looks and what kind of costs are involved, there are still lots of discussions to have," Trudeau told Canadian TV.
He added that so far there have been no official talks on the issue between the Canadian and British governments. Britain's royal family is protected by a special team of officers from London's Metropolitan Police, also known as Scotland Yard. The cost of that protection is not made public.
In addition to security costs, it is likely that some special force of London police would have to operate in Canada.
Many financial questions remain.
The queen says Harry and Meghan do not plan to use public money when they step back from royal duties.
So it is possible they may be asked to pay for their security.
Harry and Meghan have said that one of their goals is to become financially independent.
It is not known if they will continue to receive money from Harry's father, Prince Charles, who uses earnings from the Duchy of Cornwall estate to pay for many royal activities.
The estate earned more than $26 million last year. Harry and Meghan have announced plans to launch a charitable organization in the coming year.
They just completed a six week vacation in western Canada with their baby.
Meghan has returned to Canada after a short visit to London last week.

英国女王支持哈里夫妇自立门户
周二时候,英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊表示,他相信王室成员可以解决哈里王子与梅根之间的分歧。
哈里王子和梅根,也被称为苏萨克斯公爵和公爵夫人,他们想要辞去皇室职责,移居加拿大。
目前夫妇二人已经得到伊丽莎白女王的批准。
伊丽莎白女王表示,虽然她和其他家族成员对此决定感到遗憾,但能理解并尊重他们的选择。
不过,有关重要细节尚未达成协议,还要面临做出一些艰难决定。
加拿大领导人就此也提出了问题。不过,鲍里斯·约翰逊告诉BBC电视台记者,他相信王室将会找到解决方案。
“我个人的看法很简单:和大多数观众一样,我也是女王和王室的忠粉……视她们为国家的财富。”
周一时候,英国王室于女王英格兰东部的桑德灵厄姆庄园召开了危机会议。
约翰逊表示,他相信王室成员将会“更轻松地达成一致意见,政客们无需喋喋不休的妄加评论”。
上周,苏萨克斯公爵和公爵夫人发表的一份声明,引发了这场危机。
他们夫妇二人表示,想要辞去大部分王室职责,并实现财务独立。
他们已决定至少会在加拿大居住一段时间。加拿大为英联邦国家,女王是国家元首。
梅根在拍摄《金装律师》时,曾经在加拿大工作七年。
这一举动激怒了那些没有参与此决定的其他皇室成员。
93岁的女王、长子查尔斯王储、威廉王子和哈里王子都参加了在桑德林汉姆的会议。
女王在会后发表声明说,王室将不会阻止哈里王子和梅根寻求独立的举动。
当哈里王子和梅根二人决定移居加拿大的消息确定后,加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多表示,加国对此消息表示欢迎,不过还有一些问题需要讨论。
这些问题包括:为哈里、梅根和他们的儿子阿尔奇需提供日常安全保障的高额费用。
在接受加拿大电视台采访时,特鲁多表示: “ 我认为大多数加拿大人会很支持王室成员来我们这里生活,但具体形式和需要付出的费用,仍需多番讨论。”
他补充说,迄今为止,加拿大和英国政府尚未对此问题进行正式会谈。
英国王室安全由伦敦警察厅,“苏格兰场”(Scotland Yard)),一支特殊警队负责。
此安保费用目前尚未公开。
除安保费用外,伦敦警方的特种部队可能还需要在加拿大执行任务。
许多其他金融财务问题也函待解决。
伊丽莎白女王表示,王子哈里和梅根打算在卸任后不再使用公款。
因此,他们可能会被要求自己支付安保费用。
王子哈里和梅根表示,实现财务独立是他们的目标之一。
目前尚不清楚,他们能否继续得到哈里王子的父亲查尔斯王储的财政支持。
查尔斯王储利用康沃尔公爵领地的收入支付许多王室活动的开销。
去年,该领地带来超过2600万美元收入。
王子哈里和梅根目前已宣布,打算于明年创办一家慈善机构。
在加拿大西部,王子哈里和梅根刚和孩子度过了六周假期。
上周时候,梅根还在伦敦进行了短暂的访问,目前已经返回加拿大。
